London, Sept. 1, 1864. with their client, Mr Marbury stated the circum stances under which he asked for a warrant of ex tradition against the accused. By the terms of the treaty between the United States and Great Britain, of Aug. 9, 1842, it is provided that persons fleeing from justice from the one country and being found in the other, charged with certain enumerated crimes, may be demanded, and shall be delivered up on the production of such proof as would justify the commitment of the offender for trial in the place where apprehended. Under this treaty, and the laws passed for carrying it into effect, a requisition was now asked that Franz Muller, the prisoner at the bar, who is charged with having murdered Thomas Briggs, in the county of Middlesex, London; on the 9th July, 1864, be surrendered up for trial. Counsel briefly recapitulated the circumstances of the murder, which need not be here repeated, and he proposed to read the depositions of the witnesses taken in the case, in London, before Mr Henry, one of the police magistrates, and which were authen ticated by the oertificate of Mr Adams, United States Minister to the Court of St. James. 19th.

This Company is iinexterrsroCOß the Credit Fonder (Limited) and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) which were established, the former for financial business in connection with land, the latter for general financial operations. The unexampled success achieved by those companies, whose reports, just published, show the amount of net profits,upon a paid-up capital amounting jointly to £lOO,OOO, to be at the rate of upwards of 190 per cent. per annum, and who have each declared a dividend and bonus of £2 per share on £5 paid for less than six months' working, besides carrying £40,000 to the reserve fund, and the enormous ac cession of business of both companies render it absolutely essential to increase the capital, and thus enlarge the basis of their operations. With this view it has been determined to found the pre sent powerful institution, which will absorb the two com panies, and will take over the whole of their assets, includ ing their united reserve fund, amounting to £40,000. and will also of course assume their engagements, and the Directors believe that the increased means the issue of new capital will place in their hands will enable them to effect even greater results than have been already achieved. The distribution of the shares will be made in the follow ing manner, by which it will be seen that a liberal propor tion has been appropriated for allotment amongst the gene ral public. 10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) at par. in exchange for the like number of shares now held by them. 30,000 Shares will (at their option) be allotted to the share holders of the Credit Foncier (Limited) (being at at the rate of three new shares for each share held in that Company), which will be issued as follows, viz.: —Two of such shares at a premium of £2 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 10,000 Shares will be issued to the shareholders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) at par, in exchange for the like number of shares in that Company now held by them. 30,000 Shares will be allotted (at their option) to the share holders of the Credit Mobilier (Limited) (being at the rate of three new shares for each share held in that Company), which will be issued as fol lows, viz. :—Two of such shares at a premium of L'/, 13s 4d per share, and for every two shares so taken one additional share at par. 20,000 Shares will be issued to the public at a premium of £2 13s 41 per share. 100,000 The total premium on the above mentioned shares will amount to £160,000, which, with the sum of £40,000, the amount of the reserve funds of the Credit Foncier (Limited), and of the Credit Mobilier (Limited), will be carried to the reserve fund of the amalgamated Company, which will then amount to £200,000. The amount to be called up, viz., £5 per share on the shares issued at a premium, together with the £2 13s 4d per share premium thereon, to be paid by the following instal mints : On application £1 per share, to be carried to capital account. _ _ On allotment, £2 per share, of which Ll to be carried to capital account and Ll to be carried to premium account. 10th December, Ll 13s 4d per share to be carried to pre mium account, _ _ 10th February, 1865, lOs per share to be carried td capital account. 10th April, 1865, £1 10s. per share to be carried to capi tal account. The amount to be called up, viz., £5 per share on the shares issued at par, to be paid as follows, viz.:— On application, £1 per share; on allotment, £1 per share; 10th February, 1865, £1 108. per share; 10th April, 1865, £1 10s. per share—which will be carried to capital account. But as all the shares will participate in the next divi dend declared, pro rata, according to the amount paid up, the valuable option has been reserved, enabling all allot tees to pay up the instalments immediately on allotment, or at any time in advance of their being due, up to £5 per share. The total amount of paid-up capital will be £500,000, and the reserve fund will amount to £200,000. The following is a comparative statement of the estimated value of the undermentioned shares as represented by the current prices on the Stock Exchange, viz : O r, 7,-; q,o ,ctg - F,•,2;= 4 4 .'° ,ots ta 4"„ z Qgce ' pi ° 0, t'-d EA fil §-4-.4 t447,i''' al ,T,A 0 0 e''.g 114'...i <4 • tj ggg,c; 117's 411,,,,43 re .5.-. o ..),- .. o ... .010 . 1 o .oXci kIZ E 4.; otl — 52 E.

Bd. per share; but, taking the premium of the last-mentioned company as the most analogous to this Company, it having been amalgamated only two months, it will be seen that their price of £3 10s. per share (which is far below their intrinsic worth), added to the D. premium in this Company's reserve fund, gives £5 10s. per share, or £2 16s. Bd. bonus on the price of issue. The above prices are quoted as they are given in the Stock Exchange List. but it is generally admitted that they by no means represent the full value of the different shares quoted, the prices of which ought to, and will doubtless be, much higher.

B.E. THE MURDER OF MR. BRIGGS. Upon the detectives making their mission known to Muller, he suddenly appeared agitated, and in voluntarily exclaimed, " What is it P" and on being told that he was arrested on the charge of murdering Mr Briggs, turned ghastly pale, but soon recovered, and said, " I did not do it, and I can prove that I was not there at all." As noted in our yesterday's edition, passengers in an excur sion boat called out, " Where's the murderer, Mul ler ?" Throw him overboard !" but it appears that this was heard only by the cabin passengers, Muller at the moment being in the act of going below apparently in utter ignorance of what was going , on. At the Quarantine Station there was some delay in the appearance of the boarding party, and Captain Champion ordered the immediate seizure of the accused, but a moment afterwards the ,detectives appeared on board. After the identifica tion was finished the trunk of the prisoner was opened. In it, sewed up in a piece of chamois leather, was the watch of Mr. Briggs and a black silk hat, marked " Digance, hatter." The hat had been worn by the prisoner during the voy age, but when taken charge of by Inspector Tanner a cap was borrowed for him to go on shore. After the officers had taken him in cust od y at Sandy Hook, and during the remainder of t h e voyage to NewYork,.he seemed agitated a nd in deep thought, voyage, b frequently rising suddenly and pacing the cabin , slept soundly. During the latter part of the when off Castle Garden, he was asked what had become o f th e r i ng h e had received with the chain from M r D eat h. H e replied it had been taken from hi m . T anner as k e d if the stone was a p red one. He r e pli e d "N o , w hite." It was at this Mr Death id en tifi e d t h e prisoner. The cook e v often ya g with starts, and ex. of the Victoria, who slept in the next berth to the very s y o ner unsoundly,on th prisoner ewoaukt,insgtated that Muller slept claiming in his sleep, " Who's there ?" T ake your hands off," EXAMINATION OF MULLER. (Per the Hansa). NEW YORK, Aug. 26. Mr Thomas - - 1 The hearing in the extradition case of Franz near Lon donßriggs in a first class railway carriage Muller, charged Was resumed at 11 o'clock, in the United States District Court, before Mr Commissioner Newton. The crowded condition of the court room evinced the great jute-' rest manifested in the case. . Mr Beebe, who had been assigned as counsel for the accused, not being present, there was some delay in commencing the proceeding s . Mr Edwin Blankman, after a brief consultation with the prisoner , stated . to the Court that the accused expected his sister to be present, and would then make some arrangement as to counsel. The Commissioner (to the thwi Ithoythleas:urder of accused)—ls your holding a blue sister here ? cotton The haeaenudekeedrc(hetieefild. ra g , eunPe and his hands, and accent)—l am expectingspeaking Ynur sister any friends do not kn ow he T re h; Commissioner ---lias The Accused- 4 -now, sir. She came to this country by herself. The Commissioner---Well, I will assign Mr Shaffer and Mr Blankinan as counsel, if there be no objection. in Court they act , e cep ta d th tthheesegentlinen being charge, and took th e i r sea t s a t th e table where the prison er wasse e a w te o d r . e H a e dark is tweed of small e e shooting stature and jacket,slightly adark built. waistcoat n buttoned high up, and a white necktie, and has somewhat the appear. ance of an English ostler. His eyes are small, and so deeply set, that at a few yards distance from him one can only see the shadow of the brows. The face is a narrow ova l, and has neither whiskers or moustache; the hair is quite light, and is care fully combed; there is nothing about his appearance indicating Propensity ; on the con trary, heanywouldmurderous pass anywhere for a qu i e t, inoffen sive person, Ile keeps his lips closely compressed, and betrays no signs of emotion. On the other side of the table, beside Mr Mar. bury, counsel for the British Government, sat Mr Tanner, the inspector of detective police, of London, an open-faced intelligent - looking man. Mr Ker. ressey, the local inspector of Metropolitan police, was also present, together with several of the Eng. lish witnesses. After some little delay, to permit counsel to confer The depositions were then offered and received in evidence. Richard Tanner was examined by Mr Marbury, and testified as follows :—I am Inspector of the De tective Force, Metropolitan Police, London. My attention was first called to the case on the 10th of July. I waa directed by Sir Richard Mayne, Com missioner of Police, to undertake the inquiry. I went to Bow, and put myself in communication with the local police. I received there a hat from Inspector Kerressey. I have since kept it under lock and key. It is now in London, at the office in the strong room. It is an ordinary black hat, bent and broken. It has the name of T. H. Walker, 42, Crawford-street, London. as the maker. It aps peered to have stains of blood upon it. I ex hibited it to Mr Mathews, who is here present. I was present at the taking of the depositions be fore the magistrate, Mr Henry, on the 19th of July. I saw him swear the witnesses, and saw them sign the depositions. Mr Henry certified them after they were put together. He is the chief magistrate, and has been so to my knowledge 10 or 12 years. I have been connected with the metropolitan police force in London for 14 years. I rose from the ranks to my present position—we all have to do that. I have been in the habit of seeing preliminary depo sitions in cases of crime in England in which war• rants are issued. The depositions in this case are in the usual form. I received the depositions of the 29th July from the hands of Mr Henry, the magis trate—they are the orginal depositions. I got them certified by Mr Adams, the American Minister. I produced the hat before Mr Henry on the 19th of July, when these depositions were taken. I produced it to the witness Ames. It was in reference to it that Ames testified. I showed it also to the cabman Matthews. I pro duce a pawnticket here. I got it from the witness Naffs, on the 18th of July. It is the same ticket to which Haifa refers on his deposition. There were also produced on the examination a walking stick and black bag, which bad belonged to Mr. Briggs, and the cardbox spoken of by Mr Death, the jewel ler. I examined the compartment of the railroad car, and observed the cushions covered with blood. I was present at the Coroner's inquest and saw there the body of Mr. Briggs. The paper I now produce is a proclamation offering £3OO reward for the apprehension of the murderer. It was issued by me on the 16th of July, in London. I got the description of Mr. Briggs's watch from the watch maker at Hackney, who had cleaned it not long before. I was referred to him by Mr. Briggs's son. It is described as a large, old.fashioned, gold lever watch, open face, with the number and maker's name. Counsel for the accused objected to hearsay evident() as to the description of the watch. Objection sustained. . Cross-exammed by Mr Shaffer— I was not acquainted with Mr Briggs in his lifetime. I had never seen him, but I saw the body at the inquest. Ido not know of my own knowledge that it was the body of :Mr Briggs. I applied no test to determine whether the stains on the hat were stains of blood. Ido not know how many persons occupied the compartment of the car in which Mr Briggs had a seat. From Bow to Hackney-wick is about three miles. I know nothing of the appointment of Mr Henry, the magistrate. Walter licrressey, examined by Mr Marbury—l am in spector of K division of the Metropolitan Police, sta tioned at Bow. My attention was called to this case on the morning of Sunday, July 10. I saw Mr Briggs both before and after his death. I sent a constable to the Cam den-town station for the flat, and received it from him. I have been connected with the Metropolitan police of Lon don ;ver 14 years. I know Mr Henry, the chief magis trate, at Bow-street, about 12 years. I was present when all these depositions were taken befcre him at Bow-street, on the 22d of July, 1864. The witnesses were sworn by Mr Henry, and signed them before him. This is Mr Henry's certificate. I received these original depositions from his hands, and I brought them with me to this country. There was a hat produced before Mr. Henry, on the 22d July. It was the same that I got from the constable. I gave it to Inspector Tanner. I re member the deposition of Mr Ames, one of the railway guards. The hat was exhibited to him, and he testified to its being the same that he found in the railway carriage. I also showed the hat to Elizabeth Kepsch, and it is the one to which she refers in her deposition. I also produced a gold chain—l produce it now, also the hook belonging to the chain, and a small ring. I received the chain from Mr John Death. The hook I saw taken off the deceased by his son. The small ring I received from Mr Buchan, the surgeon ; it is the one which he testifies in his deposition. The chain is the one to which the witness, Mr Thomas J. Briggs, Mr Buchan, and Mr Robert Death referred to. There was a new chain presented to Elizabeth Kepsch on her examination. It was produced by Young, the pawn broker's clerk. It was in reference to it that she and Haifa and Robert Death testified. The card-box was also ex hibited on the 22d July. Cross-examined by Mr Shaffer—The examination of the witnesses on the 22d July occupied about seven hours. I received the depositions from Mr Henry, and gave them to the superintendent. I was not present when the American Minister gave his certificate. The papers were returned to me by the superintendent. I am not acquainted with the signature of Mr Adams. Mr Marbury supposed that Mr Adams's signature could be proved by Mr Shaffer himself as he had been Mr Shaffer's candidate for the Vice-Presi dency. Mr Shaffer—Yes, but I never helped to hang a client of mine if I could help it. The Commissioner ruled that the certificate of thelJnited States Minister, under the seal of the legation, should be received in evidence, Mr John Death, examined by Mr Marbury—l reside at 55, Cheapside, London. I am a silversmith and jeweller, and have been in that business 32 years. Tho chain now handed to me I purchased on the morning of the 11th of July from the prisoner (here Muller stood up to be identi fied). I was called into the shop by my brother, and this chain was handed to me by him for me to vt,lue. I put it in the scales to weigh it. The prisoner looked to see me do it. I told him I would give hint £3 108 for it. Ile looked at another chain which was priced £3 15s, but de clined to pay the difference. I then showed him a chain at £3 ss, which he agreed to take, 1 then asked hint what ho would take for the ss, and he said a finger ring. I showed him one at the price, having a cornelian stone and a head engraved upon it. He fitted it on his finger, and kept it. My brother handed me a paper box, on which was a label having my name and address, into which I packed the chain I had sold, and made a parcel of it and delivered it to the prisoner. He then left the shop. I again saw that box on the following Monday night. It was given to me by In spector Tanner. I identified the box as being the one that I had packed the chain into. That is the same box which 1 saw at the magistrate's office at Bow-street on the Cross-examination continued—At the timo I purchased the chain I had not read of the murder. Soon afterwards my attention was called to it, and I was struck with the fact that the chain I had purchased lacked the hook, and I immediately wrote to Inspector Kerressey informing him of the circumstance. The description given in the procla mation is made up from that which I and my brother gave of the man from whom I had bought the chain. I never saw the same pattern of chain before—it has a certain peculiarity by which once seen I would recollect it again. A chain somewhat like it is called the Clyde chain; this is a swivel seal ; the description of this seal given in the proclamation does not properly describe the chain. Jonathan Mathews, examined by Mr Marbury—l am a cabman, living in London. I know Franz Muller, the pri soner, perfectly well. I have known him about two years. He has been in the habit of visiting me frequently, as often as twice or thrice a month. He has been working as a tailor. I bought a hat for him. He had come to dine with me one Sunday, and he saw with me a hat which he liked. He tried whether it would At him, and found it was a little tight for him. I said if I get you one made a little easier than that, will it fit you ? He said, " Very nicely." I did so according to his wishes, and had it home the Saturday following. It was made by a man named Walker, in Craw ford -street. Ile wore it up to within three weeks of my last seeing him. 1 have since seen that hat. I saw it at the Detective Office, Scotland-yard, London. I described it to the inspector before he showed it to me. I had remarked it three weeks before, and told Mailer it was getting shabby He said he would wear it a while longer. The jeweller'e card-box I saw at my house on Tuesday morning. Ho had given it to my little girl to play with. I thought nothing of it till I saw the handbill. It had the name and address of Mr Death, the jeweller, in it. I had never got anything from Mr Death. Cross-examined by Mr Shaffer—This hat was exactly like mine, except that this was easier. I should not think there were any similar hats in the store, as I get my hats made to order, and this was made to order. It was some two or three weeks before Christmas. Q. Did you have your head measured for this hat ?—A. No ; they do not measure heads, they measure hats. (Laughter.) I always found the accused to be a very steady, industrious, honest man, regular in his habits, and I should not have hesitated, on oath, to give him a good character. George Clark, examined by Mr Marbury—l am sergeant of the London detective force. I boarded the Victoria the other day in company with a New York officer, John Tiemann. Told the prisoner that he was charged with the murder of Mr Briggs in London; I followed by saying, " on the North London Railway, on the 9th, between Bow and Hackney-wick." lle said " I was not there ; I never was on the line ;" the officers searched him and took a key from his waistcoat pocket—this is the key. The prisoner said it was the key of his box. I afterwards fetched the box into the cabin, where the prisoner was standing. Ho told me it was his. I unlocked it, and among other things found a gold watch and a hat. This is the watch and hat. Mr Marbury called attention to the fact that the watch produced was an old-fashioned watch, made at Hackney ; and that the evidence in the case showed that the watch of the deceased was an old-fashioned one, and that he lived at Hackney. Jonathan Mathews was recalled by Mr Shaffer, fatcl the hat found upon the prisoner, supposed to have belonged to the murdered man, was then tried upon him and found an easy fit. John C. Ticra - Inn, examined by Mr Marbury—Ara con nected with the detective force in this city. I made the arrest of the prisoner, having been deputed by the United Stags Marshal. I took out of the prisoner's pocket the key of his box, and was present when the box was searched. Cross-examined—l'he prisoner said he had had the hat about a year, and the watch for two years. This closed the case on the part of tbo British Go vernment, and the further hearing was adjourned till Sa turday morning at 11 o'clock. REMARKABLE CONFESSION OF A SELF. ALLEGED ACCOMPLICE. George Augustus King, about oft. 9in. or 10in. in height, with straight red whiskers, wiry frame, and of shabby genteel appearance, calling himself a publisher, living at Bow, was brought before Mr Ellison, at the Worship-street Police-court, by Mr Inspector Honey, of the K division, charged upon his own confession with being concerned in the above alleged murder. Mr Abbott attended for the prosecution, which was in stituted by Mr G. Buckley, landlord of the Ranelagh Arms Tavern, Old Ford, who stated—Last night, about eleven o'clock, I was in the bar talking to my customers and ex pressing tho extreme gratification I felt at the capture of Muller, with the extra evidence against him, when the pri soner, who was present in front of the bar, suddenly re marked, " I could wager a fortune if I had it that there were i,wo men ' congregated' in it. A gentleman who was present turned round and said, " You ought not to say such things if you don't know them for facts." Prisoner turned towards him and replied," 1 don't care ; now Muller is caught I'm sure to be apprehended. Muller is coming across the Channel in irons, but I can walk out of these doors at liberty." Another person remarked, "I am really astonished at your saying this ; it a constable was within hearing he would apprehend you." I then called prisoner into the taproom. Mr Safford (clerk)—Was he sober? Witness—No, ho was not quite sober. Prisoner—No, you gave me so many glasses of brandy and water—about 30—you made me drunk. Mr Ellison—lt will be better, probably, not to snake any statement at present. You can cross-examine the witness presently. (The prisoner here apologised, and was proceeding to speak again to the witness, when stopped with some difficulty by Bendel], the gaoler,) Evidence resumed—He took my hand, burst into tears, and sobbed out, "I wish to have 501 b. weight taken o ff my shoulders." I aske d , , 6 What is the matter with you?" He then said: Muller and I were hard up, we wanted money, and money we would have ; it (the murder) was contemplated three days before it took place. We went to Fenchurch-street, waited there until Mr Briggs arrived, and took two first-class tickets to Hackney Wick. We did not commence our operations until we had just left Bow station. I then struck him twice. Muller struck him three times. Muller opened the door and laid hold of his body. I lifted him up and threw him out. I got out at Hackney wick station and ran to the Mittord Castle, went into the parlour, and heard the fireman of the engine halloa out that some person was run over on the line. I went to assist, helped to carry the man into the public-house, and bathed his temples." Witness from this point continued to the effect that being strongly impressed, from the prisoner's statement and manner, that his representations were truth ful, he thought it prudent to acquaint those outside the room with what had occurred, which he did, and after wards, leaving the door open, returned to the prisoner, who repeated a portion of the statement, which those outside heard, among them wore two police-constables who had in the meantime been sent for. The prisoner was given into custody. Mr Ellison—Prisoner, do you wish to ask any questions of this witness ? Prisoner—l thank you, sir; I will—one. (Addressing witness :) Before you took me into the taproom did't you give me several glasses of brandy and water ? Witness—No, I don't know that you had one, Prisoner—Was I sober? Witness—No ; I have said you were not quite sober. Prisoner—Was I not thoroughly drunk? Witness—No, you were not, because you were sitting on the top rail of a chair with your feet on the seat, which, if much intoxicated, you could not have done. Prisoner—You made me drunk. Witness—Most certainly not, for at the bar I believe you only had a glass of ale, Mr Abbott was about to call other witnesses, but on the magistrate learning, in answer to his question, that their evidence was to the same effect as the foregoing, he re inaJzed that at so late an hour it was scarcely necessary, and they were not heard. Mr Inspector Honey said that since tho prisonerrtt apprehended he had made inquiries at thoeu had been iNsf previous Castleto and learnt that prisoner was there two hours the time of the asserted murder. Mr Safford—le the Mitferd Castle near the slut Rhere the body of Mr Briggs was discovered? Mr Buckley—lt is. Mr Safford--It is scarcely e vidence, you not being pre scut at the time; but for the sake of informati o n say if the body was carried into that house. Mr Buckley—lt was. Permit inc to say that on my hearing such an extraordinary statement from the prisoner ; (From the Mechanics' illago:inc) We believe we are correct in stating that it is the inten tion of the Government to comply with the prayer of the memorials of the Chambers of Commerce of Bengal, Bow— bay,and Mad ras , an d to allow of the introduction of th British sovereign as current coin into the three prcsidencias of India. There can be no doubt of the advisability 'of this step, which seems also from a recently arrived telegram from Calcutta, ;,to have obtained the con currence of Sir Charles Trevelyan, the able Finance Minister of Bengal. The inconveniences which have so long been experienced from the exclusive use of silver as a legal medium for the transaction of commerco, between India and Great Britain, and between India an.d the Australias, have of late increased to such an extent as to have become intolerable. The trale between those count; ie has indeed been crippled by the restriction, to a very lar ge extent, and this without contingent advantage in any f ort , whatever. The matter, therefore, becomes a home ques.. tion, and one in which English manufacturers, and Englist, engineers especially, are interested. The gigantic workii in the form of railways, canals, bridges, and tramways for the transit of cotton, which are at present in progress or i prospective in British India, render it essential that eve :1 facility should be given to those who are engaged or likely to be engaged in carrying out those works. As things. are, managed now, this is far from being the case. Obstacles to the execution of large undertakings in India continually arise from the impossibility of transmitting large sums of money in the form of silver coin, for the payment of officials and workpeople engaged on them. The absurdity of confin inglegaldisbursements to the media of rupees, annan,andpice, may be conceived by supposinga similar enactment to exist in our own country in reference to the florin and its subordinate silver and bronze coins. In a vast territory like India, however, without the means which we possess of effecting the rapid and safe conveyance of specie from place to place, and without the advantages of the perfect system of bank ing in existence here, it is plain that our own annoyances. arising from the absence of gold coin would be small in, deed as compared with those of the inhabitants of India. It is not internally alone that the evil is felt in that cowl. try, but externally, and indirectly this latter fact is of yet mote serious COI.I23CtILIMICe. Owing to the exclusion of gold from the Indian currency, the trade with Austral;.a, for example, is chiefly carried on in a fashion which affects most detrimentally the commercial interests of both colo nies. The gold of Australia is sent to England, whore it is employed in the purchase of silver, which silver is sent to India burdened with the charge of the double voyage, and with the additional interest which has accrued during the long period occupied by it I The cotton and other exports of India are necessarily charged with the extra ex. pease arising from this circuitous mode of payment. Can anything be imagined more absurd and injurious to trade than such an arrangement ? A yet worse feature, perhaps, is, that this Australian gold is held firmly in the cellars oft the Bank of England till the demand for silver is mad . 0 from India, when Europe is ransacked for the purpose of obtaining it in sufficient quantities. Then the banks of England and France simultaneously, or consecutively ILE, it may happen, raise their rates of discount to mitigate, the drain ; and by doing so derange more or less every branch of business in the two countries. Now, if gold were placed en the same footing of legality as silver, it is evident that these complications would no longer exist. Australian gold would then find its way direct to India, and be received unhesitatingly in payment for cotton and other products, which, after exportation to England for manufacture would be sent to Australia for the use and advantage of its Euro pean population. This is a sample of the good which must inevitably at tend the legalisation of gold as an adjunct to tho currency of India, and it is easy for our readers to see that the bone - ficial influence of such a proceeding must of necessity pe T wat° through the channels of commerce and trade, end act and re-act advantageously for all engaged in their pro secution. As a further reason in favour of making gold a legal tender throughout the Presidencies of India, it may be st ated that a positive deficiency of the supply of silver is impend ing. his in the month of November that the great annual demand for produce from the interior of India invariably manifests itself, and unless there existed available equiva lents for its purchase, the economical system of Europe will be snore seriously disturbed than in previous years it hats been from a like cause. Increased means of communicatie with remote provinces has had its natural effect, that of i creasing the exports from them, and every year this proc oss is going on. How highly essential then to meet the grow ing supplies with enlarged facilities of purchase. Many other arguments might Le adduced in support of the proposed change, but they properly belong to the finan-. cier and the statistician. Our own purpose in introducing the subject to these columns is to demonstrate the fact that to the manufacturers of this country generally it is ono of vital consequence—much more so indeed than at the first blush it might seem to be—and that they and we therefore have a strong interest in it. Gold comprises much value in . little compass, whereas the converse holds good of silver , and there is no doubt that the people of India will esteem it in the same relation to the inferior of the two precious met ale that the people of all ether nations do. It is portable, eP.sily secured, and has many claims beside its intrinsic worth to superiority over silver. We shall look anxiously for the promuluation of an Order in Council which will set at rest any doubt as to the intentions of the Government, and make the sovereign and half sovereign of Great Britain as free to circulate in Bengal, Madras, and Bombay as they are in the British islands. ACADEMY OF SCIENCES.—At the last sitting a note was received from M. Guerin-Meneville, with a few spechncus of the cocoon of a new species of wild silkworm, a native of the Correntine missions on the right bank of the Uruguay in 31 deg. S. lat. It feeds on the leaves of the Espinello, a plant which is supposed to be the Mimosa Far nesiana in a wild state. Its cocoons are all open, and such is their immense abundance, that the trees are literally covered with them to the height of six feet from the groundr, When recently span, the cocoon is orange-coloured, but exposure to the sun and rain bleaches it. Us silk is ex tremely pure and fine. M. Aleneville gives it the name of Bombyx Fauvctyi, from the discoverer M. Fauvety. M. Guerin-Meneville further announces that a Bombyz Atlas, the first ever hatched in France, is now visible at the laboratory of the Imperial farm at Vincennes. This unique specimen proceeds from one of the 16 cocoons sent from Mussoreo, a small town situated on the table-land of the Himayala, by Captain Hutton, A paper was received from M. Pouchet in answer to M. Costa's last rejoinder on. the subject of animalcules. He denies that it is the kysti sticking to the surface of plants that produces bristly ani• maleules in vegetable macerations, M. Pouchet having ob tained some from even animal matter abstracted from the deepest organs. He states that the museum of Rouen pos sesses a maceration of a tape-worm taken from a dog, and which, after having been preserved in alcohol for more than a year, has produced an innumerable number of large bristly infusoria. His having mistaken enkysted microzoaria for spontaneous eggs is not, he says, a new reproach, which he refuted six years ago. As to infusoria passing through filters, M. Pouchet has shown it to be mathematically im possible ; why, then, has not M. Costa mentioned the species and dimensions ?—M. Turnbull wrote to inform the Academy that he had succeeded in finding the deal and dumb subjects he proposed to treat by his new method under the supervision of a Commission appointed by the Academy, and begged that a day might be appointed by the said Commission (composed of MM. Flourens, Milne Edwards, and Cl. Bernard) to verify their present state. THE COTTON TRADE AND THE DISTRESS IN PRESTON.—Within the past few days a " downward tendency' has manifested itself in the cotton trade of Pro ton, and it is apprehended that from the present until next spring there will be a decrease rather than an increase in the employment of the operatives. Two or three mills which have been worked during the whole of the cotton famine will in a week or two or either wholly or partially closed, and it is ,understood that others will shortly be i n the same position. Last week a large number of operatives were thrown off full time; and this week there has been a similar change for the worse. The cotton trade report issued yesterday shows that at present 13,278 operatives of the 27,800 in the town are working full time ; that 1,188 are employed at the rate of five days per week ; 689, four ; 3,088, three; 112, two; and that 9,069 are entirely out of work. Last week the figures were—Full time, 13,703; five d a ys, 1,053 ; four, 601; three, 3,095; two, 4 ; unem ployed, 8 , 968 . Twenty-one out of 87 mills in the town are closed,—At the meeting of the Preston Board of Guardians, on Tuesday, it was stated that in the entire union there are this week 2,041 cases, comprising '1,598 persons, who have been relieved at a cost of £271 lls. As Compared with last week, these figures show an in crease of 10 cases, a decrease of 28 persons, and an increase in the expenditure of £1 Gs lid, At present the Guar dians have in their service 240 able-bodied men. In the va rious workhouses of the uttion there are 919 inmates. A. proposition was recently made that the operations of the Relief Committee should be suspended, but the committee considered that there was too much d , stress in the town to warrant the adoption of such a step. The report of the com mittee, issued on Tuesday, shows that they have now on their books 1,296 cases, comprising 4,910 persons. As compared with last week, these returns show an increase of 13 cases and nearly 100 persons. zi ° ti? o —s a 5 O O M‘ .4. 4.a CI 90 • 0 0 0 0 0 .-I •-o 41 e , , .ti di c* Ce, 0 0 0 .0 0 8 0 ..... 1. .ke) 0 8 c., .... i i 0 0 to 0 0 4 CA CA et , LN/ C,2 4 r-1:-. ) a 44 w MO PERSONS SEEKING NDIED ESi ATE% TOWN AND COUNTRY RWIDENCES, FREEHOLD AND LEASEHOLD INVESTMENTS, AND PROPERTIES GENERALLY — To BE HAD GRATIS, at the principal Railway Bookstalls throughout the kingdom, or at the Auction and Estate Offices, No. 67, Chancery-lane, London, Messrs.
